Should we boycott EA?

The sad thing is that even if you pirate their games you'd still feel ripped off!

Thread starters normaly have to have an idea in their posts before asking others opinions.

If I was going to boycott them it would be because they **published** the worst coded and most buggy game of all time - Crysis - and all the stress and money that it caused me.

I agree also that their entire line-up is full of crap.

- actually on the subject of EA and Crysis - f**ck it, thinking about that has pissed me off - l vote boycott!

Crysis was not made by EA , crysis was made by crytek and the game was published by EA.

Sorry, of course you're right, that's what I meant

. They published the worst coded and most buggy game ever (after several patches Crysis still ran like sh*t on pretty much any system regardless of its spec) which is a sad reflection of EA's money-instead-of-quality business ethic. So after thinking about it, that is actually a damn good reason to boycott them.

Why do you think clear sky is such a step backwards in so many aspects? The devs are the same the publisher are clueless.

Well, I don't know about you guys, but I wasn't planning on buying any up-coming EA titles anyway so boycotting them isn't going to take much effort on my part...

I have one game from EA, Crysis. I won't buy anything else from them ever.
